WARNING! Before doing anything remember if you interrupt the Finish_Install_Failsafe.sh you must click the Idiot_Button.sh on the desktop to fix it and then continue. Also make sure your computer is plugged into a phisical internet connection before continuing. Wireless works in Linux but we prefer that durring the install you use a dedicated connection.
Step1 Boot from the install CD and select "Start JULinux_0.1.5.0c in Graphical Mode
Step2 Find and Double Click Install as Seen Below
Or if you can not find Install on the Desktop.
Click Start > System > Administration > Install
Step3 Select your language.
Step4 Select your time zone.
(closest city Example: Los Angeles = Pacific Time Zone)
Step5 Select your keyboard layout. This is important if you have a forign keyboard or one with the Devorak layout. Test to see if your keyboard works properly in the blank bar at the bottom.
Step6 Choose where to install JULinux. If you see a Windows install or a previous Linux install you can either choose to erase everything and use the entire drive or you can split the drive into partitions.
Don't use Manual unless you know what you are doing.
Step7 Enter a user name and password you will remember. If you don't remember it you won't be able to complete the install, log in, or install or remove programs.
Step8 Click install and wait 10 - 20 minutes.
Step9 Click Restart Now
Step10 Log in using your user name and password.
Step11 Double Click Finish_Install_Failsafe.sh (click two times really fast with the left button on your mouse while the pointer is over Finish_Install_Failsafe.sh)
Step12 Click Run In Terminal (Don't click Cancel)
Before going to Step 13 type in your password and press enter if you haven't already.
Step13 This is Ultamatix. It allows you to install all kinds of extra goodies. Have fun but remember not to select OpenOffice.org 3 or OpenOffice.org Clipart without first completing this installation following all the steps and then removing OpenOffice all together first.
Step14 Envy will open. It will ask you if you have an NVIDIA or ATI graphics card and allow you to install it automatically. In most cases this will work just fine. Do not allow Envy to restart your computer when asked. Instead close it and allow the installer to continue. It's not safe to restart until it's finished.
Step15 As soon as you see Firefox open and take you to the JULinux donation page you know it's safe to restart your computer, however as you know all evil computer programmers like us will haunt your computer unless you give us a donation (Just kiding). But seriously if you think our operating system is worth as much or greater value than Windows 7 or buying a $1,000 Apple iMac then please send donations. It isn't easy to do this and pay the bills.
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your computer.

If everything goes wrong.
If your not new to Linux (you have used it for a year) use the magical powers of Google.com first and look for your problem there. It's helpfull to include Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 in your search. Also use the Google search on www.justuselinux.com because it's better suited for Linux users.
If your new to Linux
First call 509-843-2414 and we will help you for free and if you can't pay for the long distance call just tell us and we will call you!
Second if your computer tries to boot and you see (see picture below)
But you don't see anything after that it probably means your video driver is the wrong one and yes you can blame that on Envy's repositories that work better than everyone elses. To fix this you can read the readme.txt on the desktop first before installing and it will tell you how to manually install your NVIDIA driver. We can help you do this over the phone.
Some times in order to get a working desktop temporarily you may need to edit yoru XORG.CONF file and tell it to use vesa drivers. We can walk you threw this.
We don't force you to give us donations in return for this or ask you for them but we do appreciate them. It's your way of saying thanks to us. :)
